An excellent novel series penned by author Deborah Smith is known as The MacBrides series. It started in 2013 and features multiple titles released in a span of two years. Some prominent characters mentioned in this series by Deborah include Dr. Firth, Tal MacBride, Gabby MacBride, Gus MacBride Delta Whittlespoon, Eve MacBride, Jay Wakefield, Cathy Deen Mitternich, Lucy Parmenter, etc. The debut book of this series is entitled ‘The Biscuit Witch’.

Gabby, Gus, and Tal MacBride are shown as siblings who arrive at Crossroads Cove to fight for their lost home and discover the importance of their family heritage.

Twenty years back, the MacBride siblings lost their parents in a tragic accident. Since then, Tal has not visited North Carolina. But now, she has decided to head to the popular Crossroads Cafe, run by her cousin Delta Whittlespoon, to locate a safe place to hide for her daughter, Eve. As soon as she arrives there, she learns that Delta is gone and the cafe is in crisis. Tal comes across a Scotsman who thinks that she is running from something. She tries to convince him to not think that about her, but he doesn’t agree. Later, a couple of private eyes arrive in Crossroads Cove and cause the beginning of the troubles that Tal MacBride goes on to face.

The second installment of the series called ‘The Pickle Queen’. It was also published in 2013 by the Bell Bride publication. This book introduces the Wakefield family, which is known to take whatever they want. The MacBrides do not surrender ever and have been involved in a battle with the Wakefields for more than a hundred years. But mostly, heartache and defeat have been faced by the MacBrides. Gabby MacBride has now taken it upon herself to keep her family’s legacy intact and faces the challenges that lie in her path. In her attempt, she is willing to come to terms with Jay Wakefield, with whom she was in love when they were younger and who had betrayed her due to the dark demands of the legacy of his own family. Gabby is not alone in this fight as she has the support of her siblings Tal and Gus.

    Will there be a third book in the Water Lilies series? Would like to see what happens with Unicorp/Leviathan villains.

    I’ve just finished Deborah Smith’s MacBride series but am unable to find the sequel to “The Kitchen Charmer” which was titled “The Moonshine King and due to come out in 2017. Was it ever written or possibly published under another title? Your response will be greatly appreciated!

      Hi Beverly – it was never released, and not under an alternate title either. Not sure if it is still being worked on or not.
